Xbox 360 will beat PS3 this holiday, says analyst
Dead Space banned in China, Germany and Japan
NBA 09: The Inside "The Life" trailer part 2Sony’s PlayTV recorder of digital TV will allow users to do whatever they’d like with their recordings. The recordings will be transferrable to any media device you’d like to move it to, whether that be a laptop, your PlayStation Portable, and even a thumb drive.
Mark Bunting, a producer at Sony’s Cambridge Studio, demonstrated how the PlayTV’s mpeg-2 file could be transferred from the PlayTV interface to the PlayStation 3’s home menu.
From that point is when you can obviously move it to any other storage medium. There is absolutely no copyright protection on this material, which apparently makes it evident that it will be a huge source for potential pirated software. When questioned about this, Bunting made it known that they’re aware of this and that they’d hope their users would use good judgment when utilizing the media.
"Anything you like, really, as long as you do it legally. It's in its raw format," he said. "We've talked to our legal department about it," explained Bunting. "All we're doing is moving it out of PlayTV and to the cross-media bar as if it was any other recording. So hopefully users won't do stuff they shouldn't do with it. If I'm prohibited from getting the recording off and storing it somewhere else because some other dude is making money out of selling it, then I'd rather they brought the law in to catch those people."
PlayTV has yet to have a release date announced nor a sticking price, so when that information drops, we’ll be sure to bring it to you.

great cant wait!! playstation is really coming into its own now - bye bye xbox lol
no amount of trust will stop me sellin those badboys. lol
thats neat
lol 360 sux. 2008 is gonna be such an awesome year. even if some big releases get pushed back there is just so much stuff.
wow thats sweet bring that stuff to Canada
Thats pretty cool =]
so what exactly does this allow you to do. record shows or something? like Attack of the show?
Why would someone sell tv shows? You can just watch the show or record it yourself. Or pay for it from somewhere legit.
wow, does anyone here also thinks that sony is so liberal? not bad considering it's a japanese firm, and MS is an american firm, ahh the irony
This is a counter-move to digital downloading. While Sony won't directly contribute to piracy, it seems that they are making little effort to prevent it...other than Blu-Ray.
ha thats well good
psn id: gingo.... play tv should be good cant wait to get some of those gr8 tv shows onto ma hard drive
lol, what is a "PlayStation Portal". Anyway, is any of this coming to the States?
Now it gives me more of a reason to be Jack Sparrow.
Oh crap; it's about to get crazy!!
LOL Who needs digital downloads anyway, when u can just record movies off of play tv and dl them free from others off the internet. If you don't want to depend on a gazillion terabytes of hard drive space to not get corrupted, then you can use store bought bd's or back your files up to bd-r. Brilliant
That like telling everyone, "i'm going to leave the bank vault open with no one to guard it and hope no 1 comes in and steal the money. Get real, please!!!!!
Its Tivo's little bro.
Man this is gonna be great. Cant wait for it.. it'd be like Foxtel IQ only without the subcription and hefty fees.
I can do the same thing with my Samsung recorder, so this doesnt sound strange to me! I wouldn't considering buying PlayTV if this funktion didn't exist!
Wait u have to buy Play TV?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumbbb
This sounds really cool. I would pay probably up to $200 bucks just to get PlayTV on my PS3 if it's not free.
I'm not going to be the person that's going to record T.V. shows and sell them, but I would definanlty upload some of the videos that I record on my Youtube page. I wonder if PlayTV could be use to record actual PS3 gameplay. The Xbox 360 already has the ability to record gameplay and save it too the hard drive.... Come on Sony, it's time to pick up the pace. First get those blockbuster PS3 releases out by 2008 (No more delays) and then get PlayTV and In-Game XMB out on the PS3 ASAP.
Oh awesome, cant wait now for this to come out. Wikipedia said it will be out 28 March 2008 on their site. New Zealand will be getting it around the same time as well so hopefully only a few months away ;)
